Smoked Prime Rib (Hickory Dust)
I was Pretty Due for a Prime Rib, so no time like “Now”
I had about a 4.5 lb Boneless Choice Prime Rib after removing the bones when I bought it Awhile back.
My plan is to Smoke this whole thing, then slice the two ends off for Myself & Mrs Bear.
Then I want to slice the rest into already smoked Prime Rib slices & vacuum pack them for future Sous Vide meals.
Prepping (4-29-2017):———Rinse, Dry, and cut a block pattern through the fat cap to the meat. Then apply some Leah & Perrins Bold, and a little Kosher Salt, CBP, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder. Then put it in a Foil Pan, on a wire cooling rack, cover it with Plastic wrap, and put it in my fridge for the night.
Smoking Day (4-30-2017):
11:00----------Preheat MES 40 to 220°
11:30----------Fill 2 rows of AMNS with Hickory dust, and light one end.
12:00----------Put Roast on wire rack, in foil pan, on smoking rack, in #2 position in smoker.
12:00----------Put smoking AMNS on the bottom rack on right side, and pull Chip dumper out a couple inches.
2:30————---Insert sterile probe into center of Roast. Internal Temp is at 115°
3:00————---124° IT
3:30————---135° IT
3:45————---140° IT Remove, Bring In, cover with Foil to rest 15 minutes.
4:00————---Take Pics, slice, plate up, Pics, and Eat.
After eating, I sliced the rest into 3 Slices, and Prepped them for future SV Re-heat meals (See below).
I should say this was the Best Prime Rib we’ve had yet, but I have to say that almost every time I Smoke One!!!
Hope You Enjoy,
Bear
About 4.5 Pound Prime Rib, after removing the bones, on a wire cooling rack, in a foil pan.

To the Smoker we will go:

Many people ask how I set up my MES 40 Gen #2.5, my Maverick probes, and my Amazing Smoker.
The pan will go right between the Probe wires on the second rack, with the probes just below.
This time I’m using two, because I haven’t checked left-right balance for awhile:

Filled 1 1/2 rows of Hickory Dust & lit one end:

Had to put my AMNPS on top of my AMNS, due to strong winds:

While waiting we had a Lone Visitor.
She must have a nest very close—Cleans up under my Bird Feeders a lot lately:

Done, rested, & ready for slicing:

Just an end for each of us for tonight:

Leftovers—Top 3 slices for future Suppers (SV), and the bottom 3 are for Bear’s Breakfast with the fat trimmed off:

Folded the opening into a “Pants Cuff” to keep the sealing part clean:

One for Fridge, and two for Freezer:

Here’s those 3 little ends I showed earlier to go with my Breakfast Eggs (Not Pictured):
